Opeth - Heritage
It's been you-know-what. Along with Dream Theater's new album, but I don't care about that band, although some of you probably will. This new album has no cookie monster vocals for those who have been looking for that from them. Opinions? EDIT: Yeah, I like what I am hearing in their first 3...- scytheavatar

Immortal - All Shall Fall
Is this the best metal album of all time . Seriously, I was surprised by how heavy it sounds, it sounds a lot like their pre-At the Heart of Winter stuff. Great comeback.- scytheavatar

What's the best way to make those rectangles is cases?
So far I am using drill holes -> file, and the filing part can get really annoying, especially when you need to be careful of not scratching your case. So does anyone have a better idea as to how you can make those rectangles for your IEC sockets and buttons easily and quickly?- scytheavatar

Gorod - Process of a New Decline
Have you guys checked this out? I am a bit disappointed in it compared to their last 2 albums, which to me is without the doubt the 2 greatest death metal albums ever. But fans of Necrophagist should love this a lot.- scytheavatar

Someone explain to me the W5000
I am thinking of getting the W5000 as an upgrade/companion for my AD2000, and I have been hearing a lot about how it's very picky about its source and how you need to built your source around it to get its best. So, what type of amps counts as being worthy for the W5000 and what type of amps...- scytheavatar

Can someone teach me how to roll op-amps?
Not how to take out/put in the op amps, but when you are rolling op amps what do you need to take note of in the datasheet? How do you know that the maximum input voltage to the op amp's supply is too small? How do you ensure that the input bias current is not too big and you are not getting too...- scytheavatar

Metallica vs Megadeth
Hey, all forums must have this topic if they are to be considered a music forum. Which band do you guys like more? I am personally of the opinion that Megadeth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Metallica.

The D7000 IS an improvement from the D5000
And a more than slight improvement. The flaws which are present in the D5000 are essentially fixed, the recessed mids are gone, the bass is much more controlled and has more impact, the treble rolloff is gone without turning into a bright phone. To me the D7000 is pretty much the winner of the...- scytheavatar

Why hasn't SMD caught up for DIY amp designs?
I think that with the closer component placement and the lesser inductance/capacitance due to not having the component wires a SMD based amp probably will have a better performance than a through hole amp. Plus SMD parts are cheaper than through hole parts. I know that getting those large...- scytheavatar

Is the ε12 worth it?
I am thinking of including one for my 3 channel B22. I don't mind the popping sounds but I am a bit afraid of the damage that the DC offsets can deal to my headphones. So is it worth it to build a ε12 for my B22? Will it degrade my sound quality in any way? Thanks.- scytheavatar

Good music that's available for free? Legally?
As in 100% unquestionably legal? Of any genre? I'll start by recommending Anacrusis, they have put some of their stuff up in their website. I highly recommend everyone to check out Screams and Whispers + Manic Impressions, these 2 are easily among the most underrated metal classics ever...- scytheavatar

Sleek SA6's new bass+ port
IMHO, out of the box the bass response of the new bass+ port is utter turd. Boomy and weak, it is certainly inferior to the old bass+ port. But after removing away that filter (along with that yellow tube) the bass response is actually shockingly good. It sounds like a louder version of the...- scytheavatar
